Hi! (new to this forum so I hope I'm not off-topic or in the wrong place)
So I've recently got a Matepad 11, running on HarmonyOS 2.0, knowing it would be kinda troublesome in some cases with the lack of GMS. But I've successfully installed the apps I wanted (APKPure, mostly) and managed to connect to my Google accounts for what I needed. However, now I'd like to download a game - Pokémon Masters EX - which relies on Google Play Games. I don't have any problems with other Google Apps (Drive for example) but this one is causing me trouble. I'm using GSpace to download it directly through the Play Store, launching it through GSpace, outside of GSpace, launching the game before Play Games etc etc... But the outcome is the same ; the game launches, but asks for GMS (other apps did that but they run well), so I try to connect to Play Games, which will either crash or stuck in an infinite loading.
So I wanted to know if it was useless to try, or if there is a way to make it work.
Thanks in advance and have a great day!

I would like to stay with Google Maps 6.14.4 as it is the one that plain works as I want it to (simple, easy to use, fast, precise(!)). This is the version I have in my rom.
My problem is this: Something is automatically updating my Google Maps to version 8!
I think it is related to the last release of Google Play Store which I am also trying to downgrade as it doesn't list an apps new permission requirements in red or marked with 'new' anymore. This causes people to install apps believing it doesn't require new permissions when in fact it does and now can spy even more on the user. Something is also autoupdating Google Play Store quite agressively (i.e. sometimes it is updated within seconds of being downgraded and usually every time I open it). Of course I have setup Google Play Store to not update my apps at all but as even the play store is updated despite this, something must force this upgrade!
So, how do I stop Google Maps (and Google Play Store) from being upgraded? Can I hack my android to prevent this from happening? I do have it rooted if that can help.
I am very frustrated with the Google offerings lately. They make stuff worse all the time for no obvious reason.
Recently got a refurb Sony NSZ-GS8. I love the remote with the chicklety keyboard
Device is not rooted, just the Google TV honeycomb OS
I installed many apps *over 150*apps, via side loading and play store
of course 95% of apps either will not install or force close so I did a lot of uninstalling
but I finally got a few things going nicely if a bit slow
Now the play store is messed up...
I can purchase the apps in the Google play store but the install process starts and will never finish
I did clear cache and data for the play store app in system settings and same thing
Then I did a sideload install of Google play and play services and same problem
As a result I will need to install apps on my tablet first then copy the apk to cloud then sideload on Sony Google TV
So what really sux is something like AOL for Google TV can not install on my tablet as I get a message "incompatible device"
I also unplug the Sony NSZ-GS8 when I went away for a few days as the NSZ-GS8 feels too hot for me ,,,
Any ideas suggestions are appreciated
TIA Dave
search for version of your android which is compatible for your phone respectively.
Good day my fellow humans, i have a problem with my phone. When opening the Google play games app, all the pages within it are blank. If i go to the 'my games' tab, it'll just show a spinning blue circle forever and ever. When launching a game such as simcity buildit (which i spent months on), the game starts of as if I've never played it before. If i press connect to google within the settings, it'll do nothing at all. it is like my Google play games app is completely dead. I've factory reset the phone twice, I've reinstalled the entire OS twice and still i get the same problem. However, i do have bluestacks on the PC and my Google play games account works perfectly fine. My COD heroes base is there, my simcity base is there, the Google play games app launches fine. I even tried it on a different android phone and it retrieved my saves and launched Google games app just fine. Also, i have provided 3 screenshots of what the problem looks like.
Any solution?
Dears, the problem that broachs this query to forum is related to a kind of virus called google play services. But let's start the tale from the very beginning: It popped I in about a year ago or so on my faithful full stock Alcatel Android 4.2.2 (running finest & fastest with around 270 apps and heavy duty since near 3 years) It began with lags and a pop window saying: ''this app won't work until you update google play services'' also in the attempt to open several apps non related to creepy google. Innocently I joined the message and did so. Once updated, the phone gone almost blocked and overheated, leaving room enough as to go settings (reaching there after several minutes) and press uninstall updates button and the problem vanished.This happened thrice in a year because of my doubts about, finally never again I updated the crappy play services and it never ever SELF UPDATE as follows.....:
Now....To make my Alcatel company I bought a brand new 4.4.2, slotted a copy of my SD and installed my APKs. All right for a short while until the same problem appeared again. Again I uninstalled the play services update and fixed BUT...Now the play services along with the play store self update constantly, even self turning the Wi-Fi on. First I tried all the simple tricks (disabling auto sync, disabling google now, etc and etc) but they both leaped every barrier.Then I disabled play services but even apps non google crashed completely......
Finally I rooted and run 3C toolbox. In app management > services I unchecked the two autoupdate boxes of play store BUT....the boxes self re check and there smily came the play store update.... I set the linux firewall for both playstore and play services but all seems to be useless.
This morning through 3C toolbox I flushed away to the gutter most of google crap user apps, then guessing by the sequence of their auto updating (always first play store) I disabled play store suspecting it enables the play services auto update and no news of self updates until now, but the keyboard still lags, a film online still winks and a couple of apps and the settings page opened by itself.
The question is: the 4.4.2 play services version is 6.1.83. Is it possible to replace it by installing an APK of the version 4.0.34 that my 4.2.2 runs ? If so, how is to perform a safe replacing ? Compatibility ?I dare to guess first step disabling play services, second installing the APK and check behaviour..... If not I'll acknowledge any suggestion or alternative. I'm just a half advanced and curious user
I wish the disabling of the play store keeps the situation stable and the only matter here is replacing goggle play store with something similar
Thanks in advance.
I have a Yamaha Adventure Pro tablet that I bought with my 2019 Yamaha side by side. It's pretty neat because it IPX6 water resistant and interfaces with the vehicle (speed, temperature, voltage, etc.) but it doesn't have the Google Play Store and I cannot for the life of me get the Google Services fully functional (I have tried both the APK installs and the script install for Amazon Fire devices). Tablet is running Android 6.01 and is not certified for Play Protect Certification. I installed the Device ID app and submitted to Google for Play Protect Certification.
I have successfully installed Google Account manager, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework and the Google Play Store. I have logged into Google in the accounts setting and it syncs properly.
Problem is that Google Play Services constantly crashes and I cannot download anything or update anything using the Playstore. I believe the Play Services crashing prevents this.
All I really want is the ability download offline maps for Google maps. I have successfully download a couple maps but with Google Play Services crashing the tablet really can't be used.
Anyone have any advice for getting Google Play Services to stop crashing? I have tried different version, clearing caches and date of Google related apps and service and the Download Manager. I'm pulling my hair out. I regret buying this tablet but I cannot return it.
Thanks for any help.
